Self-contained highly-portable Python distributions
A technical project provides self-contained, highly-portable Python distributions designed to minimize run-time dependencies and CPU instruction requirements. These distributions can be used as-is or integrated into larger binaries via tools like PyOxidizer.
Why it matters
Portable software distributions are essential for developers needing to deploy applications across diverse and restricted computing environments.
This project produces self-contained, highly-portable Python distributions. These Python distributions contain a fully-usable, full-featured Python installation: most extension modules from the Python standard library are present and their library dependencies are either distributed with the distribution or are statically linked.
The Python distributions are built in a manner to minimize run-time dependencies. This includes limiting the CPU instructions that can be used and limiting the set of shared libraries required at run-time. The goal is for the produced distribution to work on any system for the targeted architecture.
